We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Blue Origin is pioneering the future of space-based communications with TeraWave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This multi-orbit constellation will consist of optically interconnected satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO), providing enterprise-grade connectivity for critical operations worldwide.

As part of our TeraWave Spacecraft Systems Engineering team, you will help ensure that requirements, system designs, and operations are shaped to meet program needs. Finally, you will work with all program interfaces including Assembly, Integration, & Test (AI&T;), Mission Systems, Launch Vehicle, Payloads, and Mission Operations. The position requires strong collaboration within the spacecraft engineering team and across the entire program.

In this fast-paced and dynamic environment, you will contribute to innovative solutions while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence and judgement, and a commitment to the highest technical standards.
